vides that all persons who carry ca or
about their persons, or saddles. or in
their saddlebags a pistol, dirk, or 9th

A carpenter states that the custom

The upward movement inaugurated at the opening of the market made further progress after midday and up to 9 o'clock when tine top figures were touched. At that hour the advance ranged from 4 to 14 per cent. Part of this was lost in the final dealings under selling to realize St. Paul, Louls- vile and Nashville, Reading and Richmond and Terminal were especially pressed for sale and re- corded declines from the best prices of 14 to 4 per cent.

AMONG TEE COLLEGIANs.

The 'S6 Album Does Not Prove Fa- vOrable in the Eyes of ST Men Senior Tug.Of-War Team Chosen and To-MOrrOw.
 The winter games will take place Saturday, March 26, and April 5.
 All the crews have taken advantage of the weather for the past two days and have taken a run out of doors.
 Professor Tarbell has been unable to se- cure the desired text books for his study of logic, and so his course will consist entirely of lectures.
 The 'S6 album has not thus far secured many subscribers for the '87 album, and the present outlook seems to indicate that the required fifty will not subscribe. Only twelve men have signed the list to date.
 The senior tug of war team has been chosen and is the same as that which pulled as the junior team in the winter games last year. Copley (captain), Bissell, Ferris and Scoville comprise the team.
 All wishing instruction for the winter games will be able to obtain such by calling on Dr. Anderson at the Gym. to-day or to- morrow.
 An effort will be made this evening to form Chicago club.
 The next Phi Beta Kappa course lectul @ will be given in Linonia next Wednesday evening by Professor A. M. Wheeler on "The Government of the City of Sodom."
